Lipstick in School

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was

recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls
were
beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was

fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips
to
the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the

girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that
something
had to be done. Calling all the girls to the bathroom, the principal
met
them there with the maintenance man. The principal explained that all
these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had
to
clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the

little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean
the
mirrors, the Principal asked the maintenance man to show the girls how

much effort was required. So, he dutifully took out a long-handled
squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers.... and then there are educators.
